(a)(i) Four industrial towns in Nigeria and (ii) a type of industrial activity in each

(Others: Aba - footwear and plastics; Nnewi - vehicle spare parts; Enugu - coal and cement.)

(b) Three contributions of industries to economic development

• They create employment and raise the incomes and living standards of the people.
• They add value to local raw materials and reduce dependence on imported goods, saving foreign exchange.
• They diversify the economy and generate revenue for government through taxes.
• They stimulate the growth of towns and the development of infrastructure such as roads and power.

(c) Three problems limiting industrial development in Nigeria

• Inadequate and unreliable power supply, forcing firms to depend on costly generators.
• Shortage of capital and high interest rates, making it hard to finance industry.
• Shortage of skilled manpower and modern technology.
• Poor infrastructure, competition from cheaper imported goods, and an unstable business and policy environment.
